The 2022 Infiniti QX55 Is A Stylish Looking New Coupified SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ต.ค. 2024
- The Infiniti FX was one of the first-ever sports SUVs to come to market nearly 20 years ago. For 2022, #Infiniti is looking to capture the design essence with the #InfinitiQX55. This new #QX55 is based on the #InfinitiQX50 which means you get Infiniti innovative VC-Turbo engine and standard AWD. While the #InfinitiFX was built off of a rear drive Nissan Z platform, this shares its architecture with the FWD Nissan Rogue and Altima.

Infiniti DESPERATELY NEEDS some new products. This is one of the first ones, we will be posting a review on the 2022 QX60 in a couple weeks as well, stay tuned!
Agreed! The QX60 is the only decent car they have. The Q50, QX50 and QX80 need full redesignes ASAP. They also need a flagship sedan or coupe to show what they’re capable of. This is not to mention that they have 0 hybrid or EV vehicles on sale.
It’s too late for Infiniti. Genesis has essentially ended the brand
QX60 is actually good!
I really appreciate the analog gauges
I agree, Infiniti needs more models in their lineup
2022 on the outside 2012 on the inside
This definitely needs an emergency refresh. The QX60 has good tech and high res cameras. So Infiniti/Nissan has potential but they don’t always try lol
Amen on that. They need to take a page in Genesis book
Well to add, Lexus doesn’t try either lol.
@@dioralcide8490 Lexus should do something similar too. They are currently following infinitis path
@@naveenthemachine I think they are doing better. At least they can play the reliable card. Plus they have switching to touchscreens lately, and have some good tech, especially in the new NX. Infiniti is just lost right now, and the QX60 I think is a new start for them
@@MattCC16Gaming I think the latest Lexus models leave a bit to be desired interior wise. Especially in the new nx and LX
The Infiniti imo has a nicer interior than the new nx even
This car has so much potential but is let down by so many important components . . . the engine, transmission, and interior 😫
Yes, it appears they spent the entire budget on exterior styling and said...meh, stuff the leftover Altima engine and trans in it.
Im assuming this is a top trim, so about 57k, you can get a Mercedes GLC 43 AMG with 385Hp for just 2k more
Interior is actually very nice minus the infotainment. I’ve yet to see one on the road and I’m 10 miles from a large dealer
Not to mention the price.. I don't see for example how it's going to compete with the likes of the Genesis GV70
@@apb1236 Interior looks dated, at least 7 years old. I expect at least Mercedes a-class/CLA levels of interior tech in a premium car like this nowadays
Start doing more reviews in the dark so we can see the cars headlights and taillights and interior lights
Agreed. Luxury vehicles NEED to be shown with the lights on.
I think he should put sound test reviews as well
Checkout the channel motormouth. They always show night shots in their reviews.
He would need to upgrade his camera first. This video had way too much noise/grain.
Agreed. Insight on headlight performance at night and dusk would be great
Infiniti nailed the exterior design.
The interior is very disappointing though...
Great looking exterior, however, Infiniti needs to get rid of the CVT, update the interior, a hybrid or an electric option and a higher performance variant and they have a winner.
It still lags behind just about every vehicle in it’s segment. Even a non luxury vehicle like a Kia SUV beats this thing.
It feels like luxury and sport but the bare minimum. The Genesis GV70 is where it's at. Mercedes AMG and BMW M are just too expensive.
I guess so. Buick, Infiniti, and etc. I see what your saying. But they are charging Mercedes, BMW, Genesis, Audi, and Lexus pricing…
I traded my Q50 Red Sport for a GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige, everything the QX55 is not. Infiniti has lost it's way...
They should refresh this with Infiniti/Nissans new head unit and tech and put in the 9 speed that’s in the QX60/Pathfinder.
I hear the QX50 is getting refreshed soon so it will probably get the new infotainment and when they do that they should at least just add the new 12.3 screen to this vehicle as well.
The guy at Infiniti even said this car is way overpriced 😂 no one wants to pay the monthly payments
@@tyler4093 Mazda is a premium brand above Kia Hyundai, Toyota and Honda. They should be slotted now behind Acura. No one noticed but all the luxury/premium brands have letters/numbers for their car names. Main streams use actual names. Mazda is still being considered a mainstream though
I'll buy it once they take out the cvt, if it came out with a V6 and a better infotainment it might be the best car.
Great video and review as always. I enjoyed the dusk review however as for the Infiniti they have truly lost me after the last FX. They should have just kept that FX model and updated the interior rather than give us this model as a poor replacement model. Keep the great videos coming
What confused me was that in 2017, after its refresh, the QX70 (FX) was the only model to see sales go up. And then they discontinued it randomly………
Kill good engines and give us laclustre 4 cylinder nd cvt
Infiniti has to do better with their tech, engine and transmission. I’m disappointed!
They actually make great engines. But pairing it with a CVT ruins it
Steven Rodriguez thier 3.7 3.0 and 5.7 were the best engines
Idk why anyone would buy this honestly. That dashboard does look pretty outdated for anybody who's used to driving even a semi-modern premium or luxury car, and not offering a panoramic sunroof on a sporty-ish car like this could be a deal-breaker for some buyers, not to mention the CVT transmission. At nearly or above $50k even for "mildly" equipped models I'd say this seems like a dud.
The roof curves too much for a pano. That’s probably one of the reasons the German SUV coupes look so weird… to accommodate the pano-sunroofs.
It is a dud.
We had an Infiniti once upon a time (FX45), and that car 15 years later looks sportier and more luxurious than the new potato they've made.
All the car needs is the new 9 speed transmission and tablet style screen that everyone is clearly obsessed with and the car is a home run! It looks like nothing else on the road, which Infiniti has always been known for.
Exactly this. I had a QX50 for a loaner for a couple days and it’s really not as bad as these reviewers make. It was VERY torquey and with manual shifting I actually didn’t mind the CVT… and I drive a 6-spd G37. But I’d still vote for a swap to the 9-spd auto which I think is on the way for 2023MY.
I’d rather get a Lexus NX genesis GV70 or BMW X3
I like the QX50/55 I think they would sell more if they removed the CVT and advertised it more.
If they revamped that old interior to be up to modern standards and slash the price by a bit to be more competitive I think they would sell a bit more. The exterior design is beautiful
@@BoldBrandFlakes Infiniti doesn't generate all that much money anymore, so they can't really afford to slash that price. We had an 06 FX45 V8 and the center screen is the exact same in that car as it is in the new Infinitis. Hilarious.
I've owned 3 Infiniti's, G37 IPL, QX50, and a Q50 Red Sport which I did like a lot. I waited for the QX55 and couldn't be more disappointed, wanted a powerful engine, no CVT, and major interior/tech upgrades. So I cross shopped the German's, all fine vehicles, but bought a Genesis GV70 3.5 Sport Prestige, everything the QX55 should have been and more. Sorry Infiniti, you're just
putting Band-Aids on aging technology and CVT's nobody wants.
Solid review, love it! If Nissan updates the interior and gets rid of the CVT, I'd certainly consider this over most of its competition. They got rid of the CVT in the Pathfinder, why not this one?! They could at the very least offer the transmission as an option between a ZF-9 or the mess they got in this one.😬
LOVE the design! Best angle is THE REAR 3/4! Fantastically done as far as looks. I've never liked the variable compression turbo 4. I don't think Nissan/Infiniti has ever made a great sounding or feeling 4 cylinder! Audi VW makes the best feeling performing and sounding 4 cylinder turbo with their 2.0T even though it's been very unreliable since it was the 1.8T early on. Update the camera and infotainment and and engine and transmission and you should have a winner!👍🏼👍🏼
Omg, the chime when starting the vehicle lol straight out from a Sentra hahah
Nissan has used that chime for god knows how long 😆😆😆
Even poorly made American brands are slightly better than the Infiniti of today. As a Japanese brand enthusiast, come on, give us something to be craving for Infiniti!!!
All manufacturers share parts now so whatever you buy isn’t 100% infused by the brand. Get used to it as it saves cost for them.
Yea right!
American brands are improving
@@XX-166 Got it!
@@joskjj3625 they are improving while using others parts
Vowed to myself never to buy a Infiniti again. Had a major problem with the CVT while it was less than 2000 miles out of warranty and they (corporate and dealer) said there is absolutely nothing they can do for me in terms of any discount in fixing it. The model was known for its CVT problems. For a few hundred dollars they lost a customer. Now a happy Audi owner.
On one cares about what problems you had with the transmission. All cars whether it's 5, 6,7 or 10 speed equally have their share of issues. You're clearly still an INFINITI fanboy since you came here to not only view but comment on this clip.
@@TheLaw_11 Fan boy? OK since you said so.
That's A Really Cool Infiniti QX55. :D
I had a 1994 Q45. Best Infiniti ever made. Haven’t been a fan since. I like this tho.
The Genesis GV70 truly puts this car to shame. 🤔🤔
It puts any car to shame. This and the new nx especially
@@naveenthemachine Puts the RDX to shame as well. But then again, the GV70 isn't meant to compete with Japanese compact luxury SUVs.
@@greg.anywhere it doesn’t compete with the Japanese because imo they’ve ENDED the Japanese from their existence
@@greg.anywhere the Japanese tend to focus more on luxury and reliability than performance (maybe except Acura, and they're not so good at it). Genesis is clearly going after the Germans for their performance.
@@TheLaw_11 genesis does put it to shame. that's luxury
What a waste of an a beautiful exterior design with that interior
I began reading comments about the old interior before Soyfan opened the driver’s door. I thought - how bad can it be? Boy I was wrong.
And why is this Infiniti equipped with a CVT? I thought the new Pathfinder had gotten rid of it?
this with the 3.0t v6 wouldve been a killer also if they include the new qx60 interior to this it would be a no brainer to the competition
The base model Luxe is fine for the price point. But Essential and Sensory are over priced for what this car offers compared to the competition. I've sat in this car in person. The dual screen isn't as bad as what this review stated. Although I do agree the camera screen could've had better resolution but it's fine. It does its job. The QX55 is a beautiful car for sure. Just wished Infiniti added a little bit more refinement. The lack of auto power folding side mirrors is a disappointment. But the standard AWD is awesome though. Not sure how I feel about the CVT. The engine sound is fine. I don't think anyone will be using their QX55 to drag race. The QX55 is a perfectly fine car for your daily driver.
The back of the car certainly look amazing. Haven’t seen such a good design in a while among japanese manufacturers
What about Acura sedans? Do you not like the new Civic or Outlander. I personally thought they look good but everyone has different opinions.
They nailed the exterior so well. I'd say this is one of the best if not the best.
That interior and CVT really will turn off buyers though.
I thought I was the only one thinking the interior looked old lol. 2010 called and they want their interior back.
This looks great on the exterior but yes the FX will always be king. Better exhauste note, V6, better handling. It was basically a lifted G35/350Z. Still see many on the road.
I don't know how Infiniti screwed up the exhaust on the "Q" cars. I had a G37 and everyone loved the exhaust and when you're in a parking lot you know someone just started an infiniti because of that distinct note.
@@SaHOG I think that was more the case for the 1st Gen G35s/FX/350z…they had the very distinctive exhaust from the factory. G37s and later Infinitis lost it after the redesign and were way too quiet.
@@apb1236 my old stock G37 still had a good exhaust. I got the Q50 after and it sounded bad
I had 2. My fav car after having a new car ever 3 years over 30 years. Big mistake not having something like it anymore
I love my FX. It’s a beast, the handling is fun, and the engine is bullet proof. I was really disappointed to see a 4 cylinder and a cvt in the QX55. I was looking forward to the idea of trading up, but that won’t be happening. I’ll find a 2016 or 2017 QX70 with relatively low miles.
I feel like Infiniti just looks at the world and screams “OH YOU LIKED WHEN OUR CARS WERE LOUD FAST AND FUN?? WELL.. WE DONT!”
The FX35/45, FX37/50, and QX70 3.7/5.0 are far superior except for the interior
even interior lol
I still wonder how could Infiniti give up on the class it created in 2003? The "Bionic Cheetah" marketing of the FX was so awesome. For a few years, Infiniti seemed untouchable.
In the market at the time, the older FX’s interior was way better than this.
We have a pristine, unmodified QX70S 5.0. Despite the ancient interior and the horrid gas mileage, we’ll keep it as long as we can until Infiniti can do better.
The interior is about the same. Same features, same tech basically. Just a slightly newer design.
Amber turn signals always get my appreciation
There are so many cars I refrained from buying just because the fact that it has a CVT
The FX started the "coupe" SUV concept in 2003, long before the X6 and subsequent products from other automakers. It was quite the performer too, especially with the 4.5L V8.
This...not so much. RWD architecture and a true stepped automatic/DCT should be included. I'm taking the GV70 over this in a heartbeat!
This is more like the coupe CUV like the Mercedes and BMW which are very good looking cars
Genny got a coupe GV80 in the works too. Give it a minute
@@johnnymichael1804 genesis is such a rip off 😂 literally a Hyundai with a different badge and a few extras
@@RealKevGotEm Genesis make better cars then the Japanese. You feel and smell the Nissan in the Infiniti same with Honda and Acura and Toyota and Lexus. The newest Genesis dominate the competition.
@@RealKevGotEm yeahhhh.
No.
There are obviously some flaws, but let’s remember this and the QX50 were the last cars developed by “Old Nissan”… hence it’s tech kinda being behind the curve. Yes it just debuted last year, but remember it was delayed by almost a year. Like someone else commented, it’s a 9-spd auto and infotainment update/digital gauges away from being a very good entry in this segment. Otherwise there is absolutely nothing wrong with the interior and it is VERY high quality. I think the VC-Turbo would have a better rep if it wasn’t tagged to the CVT. The thing is torquey! I imagine it would win more hearts if the CVT was taken out of the equation.
If anyone has actually been in one of these you’ll know the center screens ARE NOT low resolution. Yes the top screen is a matte finish, but it has good resolution. They updated this aspect from 2020 onward.
Also, anyone with common sense knows this is only inspired in design by the FX. It is not a successor to it.
You're totally right and spot on. Majority of the people leaving negative comments are very inept including the redline reviewer. They can't seem to comprehend that INFINITI has said this is inspired and not a successor of the FX. The QX55 is meant to be a coupe version of the QX50 so it makes perfect sense to keep the two screen layout. The resolution on the QX55's bottom infotainment & top screen Navi is the exact same as the new 2022 QX60, but these clowns leaving negative comments don't even realize it.
I’ve had a 2006 G35, 2006 M35, & currently a 2009 G37x. I’m looking to upgrade to a larger vehicle for a growing family and I am disappointed to be validated in that Infiniti just doesn’t have what is going to suit my needs. I don’t understand the double screen 😣 It seems busy and overkill. You’re right, the interior looks outdated and similar to the one in my 09 G37x. I appreciate how you mentioned the noise.. it should be quieter for being a luxury vehicle and if I’m being honest when you hit the gas it sounds like my car. I really wanted to like this vehicle bc the exterior is actually appealing! I just don’t think I’ll be sticking to Infiniti after all.
A Kia is nicer than this Infiniti, so you should look at a Sorento or Telluride.
The QX60 is much better. No CVT and interior has nice updates.
It's a mystery why they didn't put the new transmission in this.
@@DM-fp8uw cost cutting
@@zsamps Seems like cost cutting on a transmission that lasts on a $50k car that already has an odd engine is not such a great idea.
Will it get a regular transmission from the q60 or pathfinder?
So sad. I remember infinity was all the rage in Highschool. I’m talking about 03-07. I miss the g-35s as well as the FX-35s
I hear you! Back then they were viewed(in my eyes at least) as high class. I wouldn't even consider purchasing one of these, nothing special that stands out and the engine is junk.
@@ChazR25 they can still revamp themselves. A little effort, maybe bring back the m/t in some models.
In-person, especially the red looks so good but then you get inside and all of sudden you are back into the early 2000s.
This was the last vehicle developed in the Carlos era the 2022 qx60 represents the future
Stopped caring till the word was spoken "CVT"
That infamous thunk. Cannot ever forget it
The best looking small size luxury SUV 🚙, very cute and elegant.
6:33 G35 Gauges were backlit orange and looked completely different
Definitely need panoramic roof. Like the exterior look
The inside looks good to me, I see simplicity, which equals longevity
Hi Redline Reviews, what if Infiniti gets everything right all the time?
Reminds me of Japanese electronic industry that faded away slowly.
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!
New Mazda CX--50 with AWD and 2.5T just PUNKED the QX55 ;-)
Who in the heck would pay mid 50s to low 60s for this with only 2.0T and a CVT (UUGH)???
This QX55 looks fantastic but the PRICE and DRIVETRAIN are out in left field when you go see a new CX55 Turbo Premium Plus for $43k LOADED!
This review is totally the opposite of most other reviews I’ve seen. Other reviews say it’s quiet (except for the engine), very good handling, good steering, with a great ride quality, but that was for the AWD.
FX successor? Not even close.🏎
Infiniti dropped the ball a long time ago. I had 2011 G37 that I loved for many years.. that and the FX were truly iconic in my book.
I think it sounds interesting actually, doesn't sound like a typical 2 litre turbo
Sounds like a Dodge Neon engine.
Infiniti (and Nissan) wont go any where in the current market with these ancient interiors, just compare them with Genesis and it's clear they are far behind interior design/tech/quality.
Agreed
Nissan has improved their Interior designs, not so much Infiniti, but I hope that will change.
Infiniti now offers a virtual key (phone) for remote start and door access.
I mean Infiniti really having a bad time selling cars due to things like this! Infiniti had to close tons of Infiniti dealerships and combine with Nissan dealerships. Infiniti sucks when it comes to competing to other brands!
It’s too late Infiniti. Genesis has ended the brand.
So true,once genesis has a dealership network it’s game over for Infiniti
Hey Sofyan, nice vid! Hey off subject everyone, how do you folks feel about ambient lighting LED strips in autos these days? Is it a deal breaker if a car doesn't have it, or can you live without it? Just curious!
We love that design/detail trend. It’s not a deal breaker for us, but it is a noticeable omission, especially if it’s a luxury brand that’s missing it.
@@theredline Thanks for the reply! One of the vehicles on the list for my next purchase, is a Toyota Highlander XSE; no ambient lighting at all. When I had my 2014 Acura TL in for repairs, they gave me a TLX A-spec to drive, and I loved the ambient lighting! But it's not a deal breaker for me either.
The FX is rolling over in its grave
Great review as usual but I think it's time you upgraded your camera equipment.
Agreed seeing the interior, no need to finish this video review.
Good review as always. Quick question? Which you like more; this or Lexus NX?
Thanks for your always honest, fare and respected opinion!!!
Imo neither. I’d take a venza over both of them
@@naveenthemachine that's because you can't afford either of em.
Currently window shopping and I always take a look at the Infiniti because of the exterior design but then I remind myself it lacks tech, and for what the competitors offer it’s just not worth it.
Genesis GV70..
The QX50 & QX55 needs a complete refresh, especially with the dated infotainment center and gauge cluster. They need to get rid of that troublesome Jatco CVT transmission and not worth $50,000. And the sound of the CVT Transmission during acceleration is horrible!
I don't think your opinion of QX50 or 55 matters. Plenty of Nissan and INFINITIs with the CVTs driving fine with no issues. It's still an automatic transmission, regardless of how many gears there are. It won't stop INFINITI from selling cars, neither will the opinions of you or Soyfan matter.
@@TheLaw_11 I respect your opinion
When they refresh the QX50, Infiniti needs to look at the 2022 QX80 for ideas on how to refresh it.
Wow, the Genesis GV70 makes this thing look like a dinosaur.
Is the Jaguar F-Pace video coming soon?
I would prefer a fully digital gauge cluster, a single screen setup, an automatic transmission, and the new Nissan/Infiniti door/seatbelt chime.
i’ll hold onto my fx37 until infiniti can make something comparable to that
Key fob is finally updated
It's not Japan built, rear wheel drive, V6 FX successor. It's just Mexican Altima with hatchback body.
GORGEOUS Exterior.. Wish they would have give it, better/sportier seats. The interior overall is sad and outdated. But CVT.. Again, Stop making vehicles, "SPORTY" looking and then sticking with a CVT... An oxymoron for sure. Just like Subaru pairing a Turbo(Non STI) with a CVT.
this is the funniest car review video on TH-cam, I liked how he liked the exterior and trashing the interior, that's exactly my reaction when I saw the car, the exterior looks so good but the interior is so bad if I had to buy an qx55 or Lexus RX I'd rather get the rx cause the interior looks way better than the qx55, Infiniti is like I'm suicidal I will die soon why would I change.
Spiritual successor?! The Infiniti FX was in a class of its own when it debuted. Every luxury automaker and most mainstream automaker has an SUV that’s reminiscent of the original Infiniti FX. This here is a front wheel drive based with CVT. Genesis built a better spiritual successor with its GV80 than Infiniti did with their QX55. Infiniti, please return to your original formula making beautiful vehicles that are fun to drive.
Out of the Japanese competition, I’d happily take the Acura RDX no question. I am a fan of Honda/Acura products, and it just feels a lot more premium and it’s more fun to drive. I mean who puts a CVT in a luxury SUV and also it literally just looks like a more fancy Nissan interior. Infiniti just doesn’t differentiate itself enough from Nissan.
The GV70 is the modern day FX if you ask me. Not this...
That is true since Genesis is the new startup like INFINITI was in 2003. It's also rear-biased, and one of the faster SUVs out there, just like the 2003 FX-series was.
The way the 13 year old FX50 makes this look...
Luxury Nisan shows in the driving experience . The designers are doing a lovely job though
fx 37 was stylish beast!what is this c/mon??)
hopefully the new EV´s from Infiniti can help that this brand can exist in the future.
With that interior ... It's not competitive.
If they put the big V6 red sport engine with a 9 speed they would sell like hotcakes
They should put the 3.0 turbo
Wow for a 2022, that is a brutal interior
It's weird I'm not a fan of crossovers but I like the looks of this.... But we need that damn vr30 in this thing to make it something someone would want
8:14 Worst camera resolution I’ve seen……
I feel they should keep the 2.0 VC turbo in this car...unless they want to make a red sport version of every car they make, in which case the 3.0TT V6 from the Q50 red sport (same engine used in the "new" Nissan Z) would be a great choice, if it was designed for a transverse layout as well (I highly doubt that). The CVT needs to go though, no competitor in its segment uses a CVT except the hybrids.
Maybe they can give this QX55 the 9 Speed Auto that the new QX60 has.
Can someone explain why would you like to have ambient light in a car? For me, that is only a gimmick, just to add something that is not needed and that can be damaged at some point, just to overcomplicate things inside a car.
Yeah it’s a gimmick. It started in luxury aircraft and high end vehicles. Now , with cars hitting the 50k+ range, it’s almost expected.
I’d say it ads a touch of personality . I liked it in the BMW and I now enjoy it in my new 2022 MDX Aspec.
Why are all Japanese luxury brand's cars look so good on the outside but the interior looks so disappointing 😭
is that possible, that this QX55 is maybe a premium Renault Arkana ??
Infinity should take a page out of Genesis design book
Infiniti needs to ditch the CVT and go with a ZF tm, get rid of that dual-screen, keep interior noise level to a minimum, make a full screen gauge cluster, and panoramic sunroof
